Which node should you access in Group Policy Editor to configure Microsoft Defender Antivirus settings that suppress notifications?

To configure Microsoft Defender Antivirus settings that suppress notifications, it is essential to access the specific node in the Group Policy Editor that deals with the client interface. The client interface section provides options to manage how users interact with Microsoft Defender, including the display of notifications.

This section allows administrators to control various aspects of the user interface for Defender, including the ability to suppress notifications entirely, which can help in creating a less intrusive environment for users or to streamline workflows in environments where notifications may not be necessary.

Other nodes, while relevant to different aspects of Microsoft Defender configurations, do not specifically address the suppression of notifications. For instance, the exclusions node pertains to files, folders, or processes that you do not want Defender to scan, MAPS (Microsoft Active Protection Service) relates to sending data to Microsoft for improved threat detection, and the remediation node deals with how threats are handled once detected. Thus, focusing on the client interface is the correct pathway for controlling notification preferences.
